went to ubin today! :D

met up with jingting, lawwei, weizhen, jolene, yongwoei, mark, raphael and ignatiaus (new eupho player) at tampines interchange b4 buying bread and taking bus all the way to changi village! Reached the jetty at around 11plus (we met at 10am) and immediately got onto the boat over to ubin! ((:

ubin hasn't changed much from the last time i went there (like.. ten years ago?? okok.. not that long.. but somewhere there lar.. haha) other than weird signs like "Is it REAL? Bikes for $2" signs and signs with mas selamat's face on it, nothing changed much.. still as ulu as ever! heh. rented bikes from that shop that had the sign "Is it REAL" and found out that the bikes were actually NOT $2.. it was kinda like a business strategy u know.. attract customers in only to realise that the answer for the sign is "NO". anyway, we rented their bikes despite getting "cheated" and rented bikes at $6 for the WHOLE DAY! At least its still reasonable lar..! haha.


the paths in ubin aren't actually bicycle-friendly.. upslopes can juz spoil ones day when u're juz abt to have fun gg downslope.. haha! ohh yea.. did i mention that tourist visit ubin to feed the mosquitos there? Once u stop for even one second, at least FIVE to SIX mosquitos will be seen on your body alrdy! after cycling for like godknowshowmanyhours, we finally reached a house where this old man was living all on his own (uhh, we stopped cos he sold drinks) ended up, we chatted with him and he took us around his place showing us the different pets he reared (like a wild boar named "jack" and his rabbits (and not forgetting the babies which made us all go crazy!) he was really a very nice old man.. funny too (: took pictures with him b4 we left, shall upload soon when i take them from lawwei after he uploads them on his flick-R! LoL! Mr old man told us to visit chek jawa so we did.. went there after that. i tell u, the view at chek jawa is SPECTECULAR! we walked the rainforest trail and stuffs, walked on the bridge on top of the sea and climbed up the watch tower! Every moment was breath-taking and it was simply the best part of this whole trip! :D

at the end of the cycling trip, it was already 4pm plus (lets see.. we cycled for like.. FIVE hours!?) we sat down at one of their shops there and drank coconut juice and slacked there, talking nonsense and juz laughing out loud.. left the island around 5plus and ate famous nasi lemak from changi village hawker centre, after that was parkway's arcade then back home! :D

shall upload pictures soon when i get them! :D
